A Sea Devil.


Mr.. Sid H. Nealy, a young journal
ist of Washington, D. G., has invented
a submarine torpedo, which he calls q
"sea DEVIL" capable of carrying a
charge of nearly thousand pounds
of dynamite. It is to be sent after an
enemy's ship from either shore or
shipboard, and its inventor asserts
that no ship, however fast, can run
away from it. even in slow chase.
The body of the torpedo carrying the
charge revolves with tremendous ra
pidity the shaft in the rear being held
motionless, first by float, to which
the torpedo is attached, and afterwards
by four flat blades that stick out from
the shaft like so many wings Of a
churn paddle, Reaching the guards
of ship, the torpedo ducks it's head,
dives fourteen feet into the walter,
raises it's head, and darts against the
ships hull, 1t is steered until it reach
es the ship by electric wires, but the
most accurate shots can be made with
it at a distance of three quarters of
mile. Mr.. Neaiy will soon give an
exhibition Of his "sea devil"

There is one portion of our town
where active measures should at once
be taken to remedy an evil which has
long existed and which the citiz ms of
that locality have long suffered in pa
tient silence. But the time has come
when silence is no logger a virtue and
if talking will do any good there is
apt to be plenty of it until something
is done to remedy the matter. The
locality is that portion of Chestnut
street lying north of the N. Y, P. & o.
track and between that point and
Lincoln Ave., and the evil consists in
the first place. of wide, deep ditch
Immediately at one side of the walk,
which in time of high water, is posi-
lively dangerous to pedestrians along
that place. When the water is high,
current is formed strong enough to
carry a child along and deep enough
to drown it, and there is no kind of
protection-a railing or anything of
the kiiid-to prevent the unwasy trav-
eler stepping into the ditch. In fact,
on dark night, it is almost impossi.
BILE to keep on the sidewalk, and many
an individual has groped his or her
way in fear and trembling along that
place, Then the water is constantly
undermining the walk, aud it inclines
at an angle u little short of 40 degrees
toward the ditch, and when ice forms
on the walk travelidg there is out of
the question. For years this nuisance
has existed, to the annoyance and dau-
ger OF everyone having to go that way,
and particularly the residents of Lin
coin Avenue aud Chestnut street north
of that place, who, nevertheless are
Obliged To pay just az great a tax as
the inhaDltuuts of the most favored
locality III Lne city. There is no por-
ton of our city deserving more atten-
tion than this, and scarcely a portion
which has received SO little considera-
ton. The evil referred to should at
once be eradicated and positive dan.

BOSTON, March s.-A Washington
special to the Herald says it is under
stood that the President has definitely
determined upon three of the Inter
state Commer Commissioners, and
they have all signitied their willing
uess to accept. They are: w. r
Morrison, of Illinois, chairman Gen.
Bragg, of Alabama, Democrat, and
Judge Cooley. of Michigan, Rek ubli
can. Charles p. Clarke, of Boston,
would undoubtedly have been the New
England member had it not been for
the controversy for the bonds of the
New York & New England Railroad.
The President came to the conclusion
that the appointment of Clarke would
excite hostile criticism, and therefore
was inadvisable. Professor Hadley,
of Connecticut, is considered rs hav.
ing the best chance now. The other
member will be taken il he only can
be found, from either Pennsylvania OF
New Jersey.
